look when completed property owners iu the harrison street region were elated at this sign of the southward march of the skyscraper then * suddenly there arose under the very feet of the whole scheme the little 750 debt which threatened to tumble it or at least give it a shake forfeit heisen's lease mr heisen holds or did hold a ninety seven-year lease on the thompson property at 3ss to 392

bill further set forth that he had recently incurred great expense in removing the old buildings excavating and employing an architect to plan the sky scraper the excuse for failing promptly eto pay the 750 rental is that mr heisen is a man of large affairs and must neces sarily intrust many details to his employes in this instance his bookkeeper forgot to notifj him that tiie rent was due and the matter also slipped ileiseu's memory heisen has tendered to the attorneys for the thompson estate 750 lu gold with interest for the period of delinquency and he will fight to make them accept it

small item of 730 does not sound like a disaster but a lapse of memory involving that amount on the part of c c heisen may mean one less skyscraper in Chicago the sum was for rent on a portion of the site of the twenty-two story building which mr hei sen is planning to erect at dearborn and harrison streets mr heisen was able to pay the 750 several thousand times over dut he for got and his bookkeeper forgot but the executors of the estate of jennie thcn.p son which owns the land did not forget they brought suit for forfeiture of the lease the action was like throwing a monkey wrench into the machinery of an ocean liner mr helsen's project for raising a skyscraper had been tiooming along with true Chicago speed plans were drawn and material discussed a picture was made showing how the big structure would look when completed property owners iu the harrison street region were elated at this sign of the southward march of the skyscraper then * suddenly there arose under the very feet of the whole scheme the little 750 debt which threatened to tumble it or at least give it a shake forfeit heisen's lease mr heisen holds or did hold a ninety seven-year lease on the thompson property at 3ss to 392 dearborn street upon which lie paid an annual rental of 3,000 when the last quarterly rent day came around the momentous oversight occurred then the law firm of lackuer butz & miller acting for a c ellis jr and louis b mccormie executors of the estate dropped a bombshell into his office in the form of a notice that hls lease had been forfeited a bill iu forcible detainer was filed i the superior court whereupon heisen ob tained a temporary injunction staying the ouster proceedings until the case could be heard on its-r!Â«rits . . , .... ,-â€ž, ( he told the court that since isiil wlien be took the lease he had carried the prop erty at a loss many times he said he had failed to pay the rent promptly but that no complaint had been made by tue thompson trustees heisen tenders 750 heisen * bill further set forth that he had recently incurred great expense in removing the old buildings excavating and employing an architect to plan the sky scraper the excuse for failing promptly eto pay the 750 rental is that mr heisen is a man of large affairs and must neces sarily intrust many details to his employes in this instance his bookkeeper forgot to notifj him that tiie rent was due and the matter also slipped ileiseu's memory heisen has tendered to the attorneys for the thompson estate 750 lu gold with interest for the period of delinquency and he will fight to make them accept it under a permanent injunction the land in question is at the southwest corner of dearborn and harrison streets and was valued by the board of review at 102,815 including old
